Decapeptyl injection /bone density

[R3d-l4b-m0mm4]

I have to go for a bone density in February and I’m extremely nervous. The injection I’m on can cause osteoporosis and it scares me. Has anyone got any advice on what to take to help with bone density?

Hi, My doctor recommended I take Vitamin D and Calcium (you need Vit D for your body to adequately absorb calcium) and Magnesium.

I had a bone density scan in September as in 18 months I'd broken my hand, my ankle and was also having having spine and teeth issues. I have long with have Endo and have to take meds thats increase the risk of osteoporosis too.

My dexa came back clear though so it was just a freaky coincidence. I did notice a difference to my teeth almost instantly when starting the vitamins. 🙂

I know this is not my post, but thank you for sharing. Drs and nurses are starting to push me to get a dexa scan and it terrifies me what they might see. I cant imagine living without my injections.

I’ve been told I have until October and then I have to have a break from my injections. I had a laparoscopy in January by May I was in so much pain.
